Victorin, le naturaliste

Ce long métrage documentaire est une évocation historique qui emprunte les pas du frère Marie-Victorin, fondateur du Jardin botanique de Montréal (1931). Fascinant univers visuel et sonore, ce film nous initie aux rudiments des sciences naturelles, de la recherche botanique et des grandes explorations floristiques. En compagnie de ce professeur universitaire et religieux anticonformiste, nous apprenons à herboriser sur une longue route menant à travers les îles et les terres de cet immense jardin vert d'Amérique qu'est le Québec.
